2009 Nissan GT-R
January 24, 2008
Gathering clout and praise for besting a
Porsche 911 Turbo around the infamous roads of Nürburgring in Germany, the
Nissan GT-R lays claim to American soil for the first time in its illustrious
forty-year history. The Japanese manufacturer delivers its only road-worthy,
U.S. production GT-R to the Robb Report offices for an exclusive look into the
car that is known - amongst automotive aficionados - as Godzilla. Nissan is
currently taking pre-orders at select dealerships, but do not expect to see the
Nissan GT-R in the showroom windows until June. Read the full story in the
June 2008 issue of The Robb Report Collection.
